Stacy Adams has always been sheltered by her parents. Never going outside, never had friends except for her care-takers Alise and Manda, and never having a real boyfriend. All she has is her imagination and her books. On her 18th birthday, she reque...
Making it to the new apartment I shake my head at the building. I know my father said it was a common complex but this is one of the high priced ones. I guess when you're rich this is what "common" is.Walking inside, I spot the elevator and press up. I'm on floor 5 room 516, at the end of the hall. The deal is that if I can handle my first year away I'm completely free. I can move wherever I want whenever I want. Hearing the ding, I wait for the elevator to let me off. I grab my suitcases and get to my door ready to see what it looks like inside.
I dig in my back pocket and get my key. I take a deep breath and stick the key in the door, turning the knob and pushing the door in. I pull my bags inside, and look around the apartment. Yeah, this is no common apartment complex. The kitchen was beautiful with dishes already put up in the cabinets and food already in the fridge. I smile at that. I know it was Manda and Alise's doing for that. Since I was small they were there for me, taking care of me. I close everything up and turn seeing that from the kitchen I can walk into the living room and dining room.

Amazing dad, This place looks like it'll cost someone a arm and leg. Looking around, I see four more doors. I pop my bags up by the couch and head to each one. The first one I get to is a closet, which stretches out to the size of a regular room. I close it and move on to the one right across from it. I open it and flick the light switch. I nearly faint at the sight of the bathroom. It was beautiful. The tub was a wide octagon shape and the shower was at the wall in the back. Beside the light switch was a sink and two mirrors hanging and right beside that was the toilet.
I step inside and look in the mirror. My black hair was up in a messy bun with my pink streaks in my hair showing. I had a rebellious stage around 16. I was upset that I couldn't go outside. I always wanted to go to the beach but, My dad would always say, " We have a pool Abagail, you don't need a beach. I'll have some sand shipped here so you won't be missing much" and ever since I would do crazy things. I shake my head and pull the hair tie out of my hair and let it all fall down. It was straight right now and I wasn't usually a fan of it but, It mad Manda happy to straighten it so I let her do it when she wanted too. My eyes were always a light brown just like my dad's but, I have curves just like my mother. I'm not skinny but, I'm not fat either. I consider myself in the middle.
I turn out the light and close the door. I head to the next room which I know is my room. I know the size of it because, I seen pictures. I take off my flip flops and head inside, practically collapsing on the bed. I sigh and turn on my back. I look up at the ceiling and hold my breath. Not being able to hold the scream anymore I let it out, jumping up and down on my bed. "I'm freaking free!!!!"
Hearing my phone, I stop jumping and head back to the living room. Grabbing my suitcases, and pulling my phone from the side of it, I roll them into my room.
"Hello?"
"Yes, Is this Stacy Adams?" I sit on my bed listening to the man say my name.
"Yes, this is she. How may I help you Mr?"
Mr. Dallas. I'm the manager at Full Foods." I mentally smack myself. Duh, I forgot Dad said he would call me. I clear my throat and listen to him finish. "Your father called me and told me you would be available for training tomorrow afternoon?"
Yes, I'll be there 10 o'clock on the dot sir."
"Great Thank you, Stacy." I hear him say bye and I hang up falling back on the bed. I have training tomorrow at 10 a.m.
I look at my phone and see that it is 4 p.m. I text Alise and tell her my new boss called and I'm excited. I head into the kitchen and grab the grapes and a bottled water. I go to the last door in the house, already knowing what this one leads too as well.
A Balcony! Yes, I see my pink fluffy chair already out and a table. I sit and open the bag of grapes and sit my water down. I look out into the city and smile. I have a job, and place, and I get to go to a college of my choosing. My choice and I feel like crying. I never got what I wanted and now that I do I will not mess this up. My home wasn't bad, I had everything I needed but, my own choice. I think of a way to celebrate my birthday which is today and I get the best idea yet.
I'll go watch a movie in MY living room. Beauty and the beast doesn't sound like a bad idea. Cleaning up my mess I go into the living room and see an envelope I missed. I sit on the couch and open it. Inside is a birthday card and a credit card. I open the card and see it's from Max.
"Happy Birthday little Sis; You're finally 18! Proud of you and proud to be your brother. I know I'm not around and stuff but, I put some cash on this credit card I'm sending you. Spend wisely geek. Love Maxwell."
I sit it down and sigh, silently thanking my brother. I grab the remote and turn on the television, going to the movie section. I look at the time again and see that only an hour went by.
Deciding that I should just shower and sleep after my movie seems like the best idea because, I am not the best morning person.
I grab my couch cover and turn my attention to the movie.
